AB 951

This bill requires the Department of Public Instruction to pay an operator of an

independent charter school for pupils who attend summer school at the independent

charter school in the same manner that DPI pays a private school participating in

a parental choice program for pupils who attend summer school at the participating

private school. Under current law, DPI does not pay an operator of an independent

charter school for pupils who attend summer school at the independent charter

school.

Under the bill, the amount paid for each pupil who attends summer school at

the independent charter school is 5 percent of the per pupil amount paid to the

operator for a pupil who attends the independent charter school for the school year.

If the independent charter school is authorized by the Gateway Technical College

District Board, the county executive of Waukesha County, the College of Menominee

Nation, the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa Community College, or the director of the

Office of Educational Opportunity within the University of Wisconsin System, the

amount paid to the operator for a pupil to attend summer school at the independent

charter school is subtracted from the pupil's resident school district's state aid.
